2. Background [including a brief and clear description of purpose and history of project current services/ assets, related constraints, current inequalities and drivers for change, baseline evidence, define delivery. Contextual text a rational of why this needs to be done. National exception/drive]. Since its inception the Paediatric Respiratory Medicine MCN has performed flexible bronchoscopy at RACH for all patients from the five North of Scotland Health Boards using Olympus hybrid fibre-bronchoscopes. Images are captured directly onto CD- ROM discs for subsequent review and archiving. Data about the procedure including operator performance, outcomes and complications are manually entered into a Microsoft Access database. This system is at risk due to loss of images from disc or file corruption, personal data security, and inadequate data capture of all procedures. Review of images is possible in RACH but not at other paediatric units in the North of Scotland. The NHS Scotland ehealth strategy aims to develop a full electronic patient record which will necessitate the ability to record clinical images related to procedures. In addition discussions have taken place with gastro colleagues who do not currently have a fit for purpose integrated documentation system for patients requiring endoscopy across the North of Scotland. All gastro patients from Grampian, Highland, Orkney, Shetland and 30% of Tayside patients (due to lack of capacity and requirement to carry out emergencies for Ninewells patients) require endoscopy to be undertaken in RACH theatres. The system would be used across both specialties encompassing all paediatric North of Scotland bronchoscopies and the majority of endoscopies. NHS Grampian has already purchased the Endobase integrated documentation system, as part of the new integrated theatre at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary, and this bid will provide the additional hardware and software to enable its use in the paediatric environment. 3. Key Aims and Objectives [Data audit, benchmark, how this will sit within service in Scotland). The key aim of the project is to: Improve documentation as part of the electronic patient record to facilitate patient management, improved patient care and cross-specialty working. Objectives: To record reports/images/complication/technical aspects of paediatric endoscopic procedures in keeping with NHS Scotland ehealth strategy Review difficult cases/unexpected findings with other specialists/health care professionals To improve and simplify the booking process of patients for endoscopic procedures To allow benchmarking of procedures/complications to other Scottish paediatric centres and Europe Audit of procedures/complications/operator performance and outcome Page 4 of 11
To develop database of endoscopic findings for research to improve knowledge To facilitate access to images for educating specialist trainees and allied health professionals in endoscopic appearances To take a lead role in the usage/development of integrated endoscopic electronic records for other Scottish University Children s Hospitals 4. Project Scope (and any exclusions) Patients from the 5 NoS Health Boards (NHS Grampian, Tayside, Highland, Orkney and Shetland) are seen and treated in RACH as part of the North of Scotland Paediatric Specialist Respiratory Network (NoSPRN) and Gastroenterology, Hepatology & Nutrition Network (NoSPGHANN). Installation of the integrated Endobase electronic documentation system will assist in improved data capture and management of patient information for respiratory and gastro patients. In addition, this will serve as a valuable training and education resource for multi-disciplinary teams across multiple sites. (Olympus Medical already manufactures the RACH Theatres endoscopy hardware, which gives confidence in compatibility with this Endobase documentation system software and long-term support). 5. Expected Outcomes (as per logic model diagram/implementation plan, Level 1 Appendix 1, list outcomes) Patients will benefit from improved access of their flexible bronchoscopy and endoscopy images within paediatric respiratory medicine and gastroenterology in the North of Scotland and quaternary units, and cross-specialty working e.g. ENT, to review difficult cases and unexpected findings. Patients will have confidence in a service that is being regularly audited with the outcomes benchmarked to other units using Endobase across UK and Europe. Paediatric respiratory and gastroenterology physicians will benefit from an integrated database with robust and secure storage of clinical images as part of the electronic patient record NHS Boards will benefit from secure data storage, bench-marking of the services to other units, and identification of technical problems in support of the ehealth strategy. Easy access to images will improve teaching and education to trainees in general paediatrics, respiratory paediatrics, gastroenterology, paediatric surgery and ENT. 6.

Outline Project Plan Endobase has already been purchased and is in use in Aberdeen Royal Infirmary, NHS Grampian. There has been agreement in NHS Grampian to use the existing server space for the storage of paediatric images and data (Duncan Munro confirms this). Network cabling and endoscopy equipment in RACH theatres meets minimum system requirements. Computers in RACH theatres, clinicians offices, and the system manager probably meet minimum system requirements but need checking. NHS Grampian currently has a programme of upgrading computers across the Foresterhill campus. Following purchase of the additional hardware and software it is anticipated that installation and training for the users, will take less than 2 weeks. 8. Project Budget Software, installation and training cost is as per quote attached of 23,169.32 9.

10. Risk Register To be completed following agreement to proceed. Exit Strategy The current system of image data capture, archiving and dissemination across the respiratory network (NoSPRN) is limited due to the fact images are currently saved directly to CD-ROM discs. This poses a risk to provision of the best patient care due to potential loss of images from discs or by file corruption. Patient data security could be compromised and improved patient outcomes for North of Scotland patients may be hampered. Lack of a fit for purpose data system for bronchoscopy and endoscopy for respiratory and gastroenterology networks is currently not ideal when trying to deliver the best possible care for patients. Currently there is no electronic system for gastro patients due to lack of Health Board funding to purchase an electronic system. Patient electronic data files will be required to fit in with the NHS Scotland e-health Strategy of developing and providing a full electronic patient record in future. If purchase of the Endobase software does not proceed, the current system of saving images onto CD-ROM will unfortunately have to continue and there will continue to be no suitable system for gastroenterology endoscopies. This bid is an add-on to the Endobase system that has already been purchased by NHS Grampian for ARI. Tendering for the system will therefore not be required. Purchase of a suitable system has been requested previously within child health NHS Grampian but due to lack of funding this has not been possible. After initial purchase and installation of the add-on Endobase software, if there are any unanticipated ongoing costs (including maintenance contracts), these will be taken on by NHS Grampian. 11. Equality & Diversity Impact Assessment To be completed following agreement to proceed Patients will benefit from improved access of their flexible bronchoscopy and endoscopy images within paediatric respiratory medicine and gastroenterology in the North of Scotland and quaternary units, and crossspecialty working e.g. ENT, to review difficult cases and unexpected findings. Patients will have confidence in a service that is being regularly audited with the outcomes benchmarked to other units using Endobase across UK and Europe. The Endobase system is currently in operation in Aberdeen Royal Infirmary and will ensure smooth transition of bronchoscopy data for complex respiratory paediatric patients when transitioning to adult services.
